They allegedly poured shaving lotion, which contained alcohol, under the door of a nearby room and ignited it. The students said they meant only to play a prank on the occupant of the room.

The donors themselves ex pressed approval of the drive, and many said that they would donate blood again in future drives. A few students said they were giv ing blood to replace that given by the Red Cross to relatives in the armed forces. The majority, how ever, gave blood because they felt "a moral obligation." One student remarked, "It's a quick, painless way to do something worth while." Donors who did not report to the bloodmobile at their sched uled time yesterday or Monday should make their, contributions today. According to the schedule released by the committee, • 200 students are scheduled to give blood today. No Starches for Donors Students should not eat starchy or fatty foods immediately before reporting to the bloodmobile, or their blood will not be suitable for use whole.

The other student was accused of lighting a firecracker in the same dormitory not long after the previous incident occurred. He ad mitted walking through the dormitory and seeing the students lighting the shaving lotion under the door. He said he ran over to his own dormitory, obtained the, firecracker and came back with the intention of setting it off to add to the horseplay. However, he found the dormi tory hall empty on his return, so he set off the firecracker and ran out of the dormitory. When he learned that the students who were involved in the earlier inci dent were also being blamed for the firecracker incident, he turn ed himself in to the residence counselor. The board felt the incident, which might have received a much stiffer penalty in view of the University's specific rule against firecrackers, received a somewhat milder recommenda- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.
